Climate change imposes new challenges on golf courses

 What are the consequences of a WARMER, WETTER and WILDER climate for Scandinavian golf courses ? And what measures can the golf sector take to reduce CO2 emissions ? These were the challenges discussed by 50 greenkeepers, turfgrass agronomists and researchers from Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland on a seminar held by the Scandinavian Turfgrass and Environment Research Foundation (STERF) at Bioforsk Landvik, Norway, 2-3 September 2008.

 All presentations and a summary of the workshop discussions are available as pdf-files on the STERF website sterf.golf.se.
